Ulusaba Private Game Reserve
Richard Branson's African wilderness retreat.
About the Lodge
Ulusaba — 'place of little fear' in Zulu — is Sir Richard Branson's private game reserve in the heart of the Sabi Sand, bordering Kruger National Park. Two extraordinary lodges perch on different landscapes: Rock Lodge crowns a dramatic rocky outcrop with sweeping savanna views, while Safari Lodge sits at ground level on the reserve's floodplain. Ulusaba is known for its playful spirit, world-class hospitality, and the extraordinary Wildlife Awareness Programme that engages guests directly in conservation.
